River Plate vs. Inter Milan's embarrassing Club World Cup final: Acuña invited Dumfries to fight.
The weather was hot in Seattle . Not because of the heat or the color in the stands, but inside. There hadn't been much exchange between the players until Marcos Acuña started insulting the Inter substitutes' bench, who were complaining about River 's strong leg. And when the final whistle blew, declaring the defeat of the 'Millonarios', the World Cup champion in Qatar 2022 went straight to find the Dutchman Denzel Dumfries, whom he invited to fight in the locker room .

By then, Lucas Martínez Quarta had already been sent off for a last-ditch kick against Armenian Henrik Mkhitaryan after a poor control forced him to take him from behind. The score was still 0-0.
After Francesco Pio Esposito's goal, the atmosphere began to heat up . River Plate needed goals to qualify, while Monterrey of Mexico thrashed Urawa Red Diamonds. Thus, the strong team began to dominate the scene , and the complaints from Italian team manager Cristian Chivu and his teammates infuriated Acuña. The same thing had happened with Rayados manager Domenec Torrent, but his criticism had been made at the press conference.
The 'Huevo', with his insults out, continued to be crossed for several minutes and in his path appeared Dumfries, the same protagonist of the spicy penalties of Argentina and the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, when he silenced several Albiceleste players with a gesture.
